Inventory Challenge #88-4th of July

I went another direction for my 4th of July card this time. I wanted it to reflect more on what I will be doing this holiday. One of my oldest and dearest friends has a special birthday that we will be celebrating with a suprise party. Her favorite thing in the whole wide world is flowers. Gardening of any kind really. She is such a joyful person! I celebrated using red, white, and blue papers and coloring with lots of flowers in her hair and special flowers on the card. I had to pull out some of my favorite MFT dies to make my flowers and accents with. I love how kraft paper looks with these colors, don't you?

I'm off to finish a wedding card that has to go to Chicago with my sister tomarrow morning. I will post pictures later in the week. Join Kathy at http://kathysknook.blogspot.ca for her July 4th card. It's a beaut! Love, Elle
